Your input to the next Health Call of FP7

Dear researcher,

Welcome to this site which supports you to give input to the next Health call of the Seventh European Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7). This website will show you

What domains are covered in the Health theme (FP7-HEALTH)
What domains are planned to be priorities in the next call
All topics that have been covered in previous calls in the FP7-Health programme.

Furthermore, the website allows you to give input to next year's Health Work Programme. Your input is directly transmitted to the Swiss Delegate for the FP7 Specific Programme “Health” (address below) and will be treated confidentially.

Confidentiality Note: This website is only destined for you and must not be communicated any further. All documents associated with this website are confidential material and must not be circulated. You are receiving this information in confidence, and you are kindly asked to comply with these rules (otherwise, it won’t be possible to offer this service in the future). If you would like another colleague to fill out this form, please send his name to the Swiss delegate (address above). Many thanks in advance for your cooperation and good luck!

Important information: change of input strategy

The European Commission (EC) has informed that in connection with the Europe 2020 vision, there have been substantial changes of policies. Thus, the strategy for giving input to future calls will not remain the same as in previous years:

The EC emphasises that they are not looking for lists of topics and will not respond to any topic suggestions as under the new policy directives this would no longer be productive.

How to give input?

Please fill in your input directly into questionnaire (C. Questionnaire in the menu at your left and provide contact details. Also comments concerning the planned priorities are welcome (e.g. if you think a certain domain should be covered sooner or later).

Please consider that the your input has more chances of finding its way in next year's call if Switzerland is not alone in asking for it. Therefore, please provide the names of colleagues from other European countries with whom you think to tackle the proposed research area. Talk with your colleagues and ask them to submit the same or a similar input to their respective country delegate.

For questions, please contact the Swiss delegate:
